Healthy relationships are fun and make you feel good about yourself. The relationships that you make in your teenage years will be a special pan of your life. They will teach you some of the most important lessons about who you are. This may help you understand different kinds of relationships, what makes each relationship special, and how to communicate in a positive way.
What makes a relationship healthy
Communication and Sharing: The most important part of any healthy relationship between two people is being able to talk and listen to each other.

Talking calmly helps you to understand the real reason for not getting along. It makes it much easier to figure out how to fix it. In healthy relationships, working through disagreements often makes the relationship stronger. In healthy relationships, people respect each other for who they are.

阅读下面的短文,然后按照要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。
Hi, I am Jane. I like the book named The Story of My Life by Helen Keller, which is the most influential book in my life. It is filled with courage, struggle and faith throughout. Helen Keller was once in deep despair in her childhood, but finally she decided to overcome her physical defects and live happily. Furthermore, she showed great patience in her long and hard learning period. I have learned, above all, three lessons from her story. First, she taught me that often the road to success is to face hardships bravely. Maybe you are born under a star yet you can stand a better chance than others. It is therefore important that you screw up your courage when courage is needed. Second, the destruction of part of her senses did not prevent her from learning: on the contrary, she had made continual efforts to go deeper into the realm of knowledge, and her perseverance had thus helped her overcome many handicaps. Third, she advised that we should make the most of our sense-organs as if we would lose them soon because in this way we would observe the world more carefully than ever before.
The book is inspiring in that it is one brimming over with the unbending will of a gallant woman set with seemingly insurmountable (adj.不可克服的) difficulties. I hope I can be as courageous as she.

2.然后以约120个词谈谈影响你的一生的某一本书,内容包括:

[答案]
The Most Influential Book in My Life
Jane gives us the outline of the book, The Story of My Life by Helen Keller. The book is filled with courage, struggle and faith throughout, which affects Jane's life most influentially, and she expects herself to be courageous as Helen Keller.
Books really have good or bad influence on one's growth. To me, the book named Monkey King by Wu Chengen is the most influential book in my life. The Monkey King, Sun Wukong, had a bitter experience of helping his master overcome a great many difficulties in order to get good results. In fact, Failure is a common thing in life. But there are different attitudes towards failure. Years ago, I had a bad attitude towards my failure. However, I have had a good attitude towards failure since I read the book. Now, I don't mind failure because it isn't indeed a bad matter, which tells us how to approach our goal. Whenever I am faced with great difficulties, I never say easily, "I will give up!"
Good books are both important and beneficial to the character development and personal growth of the young people. This is what I have got from my experience.英语人教版必修5单元测试二

Several days ago,I learned that my high school chemistry teacher died earlier this year.This was not surprising because he was really old.What was surprising was that most of his former students went to say goodbye to him.All of us mourned his death as he had encouraged us in a way that no other teacher had been able to.This self called “simple Kansas farmer” somehow knew how to leave a mark on his students for the rest of their lives.
I was lucky to have such teachers not only in high school but also in college and medical school.In college,the teacher who I will never forget was a professor of electrical engineering,who taught me to use my reasoning ability to solve problems.I learned that if I did not really understand a problem,I could not find a way to solve it.In medical school,I was lucky enough to study with a professor of physiology who taught me that the search for truth involved careful observations(观察)followed by careful analysis(分析).All these teachers were helping us in a great way.They knew how to encourage their students to study.
I think this is the same way we should teach medical students now.We should encourage the students to do what they are really interested in,and at the same time,give them free space to think on their own.

A woman in Japan who had no home sneaked into a man’s house and lived without being noticed in his closet for a year.She was arrested(逮捕)after the man found that his food was disappearing and reported it to the police.
Police found the 58 year old woman Thursday hiding in the top part of the man’s closet and arrested her for getting in without the owner’s permission(允许),police spokesman Hiroki Itakura from southern Kasuya town said Friday.
The man had security cameras(监视器)which sent images to his cellphone after becoming confused by food disappearing from his kitchen over the past several months.
One of the cameras on Thursday caught someone moving inside his home after he had left,so he called the police who at first thought it was a thief.However,when they arrived,they found the door locked and all windows closed.
“We searched the house and checked everywhere someone could possibly hide,”Itakura said.“When we opened the closet,we found the woman curled up(蜷曲)on her side,feeling nervous and frightened.”
The woman told the police that she had no place to live and first sneaked into the man’s house about a year ago when he left home without locking the door.
“She had moved a mattress into the small closet space and even took showers,”Itakura said.He called the woman “tidy and clean”.

How Can We Learn English in Everyday Life
Today English is used more and more widely in our life.No matter what we do,where we go,we can learn English in some way.
When we enjoy fish and chips or iced tea,take in the English words along with the food.On our way to school,remember the English on traffic signs,like “Buckle up”,“No turns”.While listening to MP3,we hear lots of English songs.Turn on TV and plenty of TV programs are also helpful to our English learning.When meeting native English speakers,don’t be shy;just go ahead to talk with them.We are sure to learn something from the talk.
Please look around carefully,listen to and speak English actively outside class and we will certainly pick up some English every day.
